View allI've been dealing with piles for the past 2 years and it's flared up again. I've seen many doctors, tried sithamaruthuvam, and taken various medicines but nothing has helped long-term. I even had piles surgery, but the problem persists. What else can I do and what kind of medicine should I take to finally get relief?
For persistent piles, advanced laser surgery, dietary changes, and medications like flavonoids can help. If you've already had surgery, consider a colorectal surgeon’s opinion to check for incomplete treatment or another condition like fissures.

I've had an anal fissure for about 8 months now with an 8mm mass near the front. It only hurts during bowel movements when my stool is hard, otherwise no pain at all, but there's a little pus at the site. Do I need surgery for this? If so, what are the side effects? Would lateral internal sphincterotomy (LIS) be recommended and what are its side effects?
Given the presence of an anal fissure for 8 months, a mass, pain during hard stools, and pus, surgery might be needed to address the chronic nature of the issue and potential infection. Lateral internal sphincterotomy (LIS) is a surgical option but it's crucial to discuss its risks and benefits with a doctor, including the possibility of sphincter incontinence.

How long does recovery usually take after anal fissure surgery and are there any non-surgical treatment options that could work instead
Recovery after anal fissure surgery typically takes about six weeks for complete healing, but most patients can resume normal activities, including work, within one to two weeks. Non-surgical options like topical ointments, Botox injections, or blood pressure medications can be effective in some cases and may be tried before surgery.
